Delaware XIV

One more time I want to take you to Fire Base Floyd in Delaware.

There are so many things here, big and small, that I think it deserves another look.

In a small strip like display many are honored and there is a special spot for nurses and as nurses are in the news so much today, I would like to honor them, too.

The panels above the picture are a little hard to read, but the one the left simply lists some of the groups of women who served in Vietnam.

The picture on the right lists the eight nurse killed in Vietnam.

The picture in the middle, the hardest to read says:

Lord, help me bring comfort where 

there is pain, courage where there is fear, 

hope where there is despair

Acceptance when the end is near

and a touch gentle with tenderness, patience and

love to dry away the tears

Nearby is this small additional tribute, note the differences in the coins left here by those who have passed by.

As mentioned in other posts Fire Base Lloyd is on Flemmings Landing Road near Townsend, Delaware.

Next time on May third we will head back to Florida, so join me there, as always at 9:00am.
